Loud boats
On 12 Aug 2004 04:05:16 GMT, something compelled
(Larry Hill), to say:
If you are overtaken, it's your responsibility to not do anything
unexpected.
You are not paying attention to what he is saying.
Yes I am. If you are being overtaken, you are the stand on
vessel, and you have a responsibility to be predictable. If you
are overtaking you are the give way vessel, and are expected to
manoeuvre clear of the overtaken vessel.
If you are in a power boat and are overtaking a sail boat or power boat you are
the burdened vessel and it is your resposibility to pass with care...remember,
you are responsible for your wake also. Granted the boats being passed should
not do anything stupid BUT a sail boat under sail has the right of way
especially if he is running out of room to tack.
Which is something I mentioned in another post.
